Some recommended reading
Here are some interesting things to read from around the blogosphere:
Vicky T of the Hands Off the People of Iran steering committee has recently set up her own blog, ‘Infantile and Disorderly,’ so check it out.
Over at ‘The Storm Breaking Upon the University‘ there is an interesting article on academic freedom and the case of Hicham Yezza by Alana Lentin.
‘SB News‘ carries an interview with Amjad Al-Jawhary (above) of the Iraq Freedom Congress Working For a Democratic, Secular and Progressive Alternative to both the US Occupation and Political Islam in Iraq. Have a listen.
Following the dismal results achieved by the SWP/Left List in the London elections they have opted to throw their members energies into anti-BNP activism. Yet, as David Broder, a dissident AWL member and ‘Whatever happened to Leon Trotsky?‘ blogger, notes in ‘Illusions in the Allies‘, the politics on which this turn to ‘anti-fascism’ is based is equally as dubious and popular frontist as the whole Respect/Left List project.
Lastly comrades could do a lot worse than popping over to ‘Tragic life stories‘ the blog of a Communist Students member who thinks that, “if there’s a single reason why the global left would be better off if Britain just sank, drowning us all, it’s the AWL.“
